## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fetcher-sh-instagram-post-comments-b3d5a1e6
```

Example prompt: Can you pull all the comments from this Instagram post — the post ID is CxYz1234abc — so I can see what people are saying about it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve comments from a specific Instagram post without setting up OAuth, an Instagram developer account, or managing API credentials. Ideal for AI agents that need pay-per-call access to Instagram comment data with USDC micropayments and no subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Post ID not found or post is private — returns 404 or empty result
- Rate limiting or Instagram anti-scraping measures — returns 429 or error response
- Malformed post ID format — returns 400 bad request
- Post has comments disabled — returns empty comments array
- Payment not processed (USDC insufficient) — returns 402 Payment Required
